Every time I pull somebody out of the bullpen, I believe he can do the job. I have to believe it. If he doesn't, hopefully he will do it the next time.

I do love the feeling of a big win. But you don't have to have a World Series ring to be a winner. A winner is somebody who goes out there every day and exhausts himself trying to get something accomplished. Being able to get the most from their ability. That's what characterizes a winner.

...in my book success and winning are not always the same thing. To me, success is playing - or working - to the best of your ability.

Whatever sport you're looking at, it's usually the team that makes the least mistakes that has the most success.

When you take a job, you don't just accept the pats on the back. You have to accept the kicks in the pants.

If you do the best you can, you never have to look back.

People are proud of their players.
